We stayed at 22E and loved the site. Unfortunately, there was plumming issue. The restroom was closed. Even the close by restroom we went to, ladies restroom has low water pressure on toilets and no water to wash hands. Luckily, spiget is right outside of the restroom. Hope the plumming issue would be resolved soon.

The flush toilets don’t work. They want you to put used toilet paper in a trash bag, gross! There’s no running water in the girls bathroom, double gross! The trash can at the start of the Lakeshore trail, southside parking lot was overflowing, and there’s no campground host to ask about these things. We love camping at Lynx, but this was the worse trip ever.

What a lovely place! Our spot was very quiet and very clean. I love that there are “facilities” in all the loops. Signposting could be a little better on the loops, though. Luckily we knew where our spot was and could find it fairly easily.
